California’s famous Big Bear Lake bald eagle pair, Jackie and Shadow, are once again parents to two eaglets.
The first chick hatched Saturday night, fully breaking free from its egg after a process that reportedly took about 36 hours.
Roughly nine hours later, a second chick emerged from its shell.

The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley, which monitors the nest through a livestream camera, said the chicks are being fed small pieces of fish and other prey.
“Both chicks are doing well, looking great and their journey has just begun,” the organization said.

Jackie and Shadow have built a large following after years of heartbreak, as viewers watched previous eggs fail to hatch or eaglets die. In March 2025, two eaglets successfully hatched and later fledged from the nest last summer.
